- This invention relates to a thermal processing jig for thermally processing a workpiece placed on a top surface thereof. More particularly, this invention is used as a jig for connecting plural members by brazing or the like, in which the plural members are connected by disposing brazing material at connecting portions between the plural members serving as a workpiece; then by mounting the workpiece applied with the brazing material on a top surface of the jig, then by placing the workpiece into a high temperature furnace, and then by melting the brazing material.
- This invention is also used as a jig for thermally processing plural workpieces coated with surface treatment material, e.g., thermosetting coating, in which the workpieces are thermally processed by mounting the workpieces on a top surface of the jig, and then by disposing the workpieces for a prescribed period into a high temperature furnace for heating the workpieces to a prescribed temperature.

- a jig 20 shown in FIG. 4 including an outer peripheral frame 21 for structuring the jig 20 , a mounting portion 22 for mounting a workpiece thereon, and a stay 24 is formed rigidly by employing thick members and by unmovably connecting the members with weld 23 .
- a jig 20 having a workpiece mounted thereon is placed into a furnace, high-temperature heat causes thermal stress upon the jig 20 , and often results to deformation of the jig 20 . Therefore, in means to prevent deformation of the thermal processing jig, thick members are used for forming the jig rigidly.
- the members of the rigidly formed jig are heated up from a cold state in a frequent and repetitive manner, then exposed to a high temperature atmosphere of 1100° C. or more inside a furnace, and then cooled to a cold state, the members are subject to considerable deformation caused by welding stress in a manufacturing process and internal stress from the property of the material due to heat difference between the heating process and the cooling process.
- the workpiece mounted on the top surface of the mounting portion will also deform. Accordingly, a subsequent process of inspecting all products and an additional process of relieving the stress are necessary for products requiring accurate dimensional tolerance.
- Forming the thick and rigid jig causes the jig to become heavy. Therefore, the weight of the jig itself will take up a large portion of the entire weight in processing with the furnace. That is, absorption of thermal energy by the jig has no significance from an aspect of heating energy. Most preferably, heating energy should only be applied upon the workpiece disposed inside the furnace. However, in reality, a considerable amount of heat is absorbed by the conventional rigid jig in a case where the jig and the workpiece are placed in a same atmosphere of high temperature. Therefore, a large space for a heating zone of the furnace and a long time for the heating process are required for the conventional jig.
- the jig since the jig has large thermal capacity, the jig is difficult to cool into a cold state. Therefore, a large space for a cooling zone when using a continuous thermal processing furnace and a long time for a cooling process are required for the jig. Repetitively using the jig for a numerous amount of times causes considerable thermal stress and results to considerable deformation, even to the rigidly formed jig. The thermally deformed jigs were disposed of since the jigs were difficult to be reused. Not only is the jig used for a short period, but is also unable to use thermal energy efficiently due to the large amount of heat absorption of the jig. Therefore, a large sized furnace and high running cost was necessary for the conventional jig.
- a thin and light-weight jig By forming a thin and light-weight jig, the productivity for the operator can be increased, the amount of heat absorption of the jig placed inside a furnace can be reduced to enable a more efficient thermal processing of a workpiece, and the apparatus for thermal processing can be size-reduced to enable reduction in initial cost and running cost.
- This invention provides a thermal processing jig for a workpiece including: an outer peripheral frame formed of a plurality of members; and a mounting portion arranged within the outer peripheral frame for mounting the workpiece, wherein the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion are movably connected, wherein the plurality of members forming the outer peripheral frame are connected via an expansion space capable of absorbing expansion caused during thermal expansion of the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion, and wherein the plurality of members forming the outer peripheral frame and a member constituting the mounting portion are connected via the expansion space.
- This invention can also provide a thermal processing jig for a workpiece, wherein the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion are movably connected by piercingly forming an insertion aperture at a connecting portion between the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion, and by inserting the connection axis through the insertion aperture, for enabling each member of the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion to move at the connection portion during thermal expansion of the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion, wherein the insertion aperture is formed for inserting the connection axis therethrough, and wherein the connection axis has a diameter smaller than the insertion aperture.
- This invention can also provide a thermal processing jig for a workpiece, wherein the plurality of members forming the outer peripheral frame are directly connected to each other, and wherein the plurality of members forming the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion are directly connected.
- This invention can also provide a thermal processing jig for a workpiece, wherein the plurality of members forming the outer peripheral frame are connected to each other via an intermediary attachment member, and wherein the plurality of members forming the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion are connected via the intermediary member.
- This invention can also provide a thermal processing jig for a workpiece, wherein the connection axis is removably connected to the insertion aperture.
- This invention can also provide a thermal processing jig for a workpiece, wherein the connection axis is unremovably connected to the insertion aperture.
- This invention can also provide a thermal processing jig for a workpiece, wherein the mounting portion is formed with a plurality of members.
- This invention can also provide a thermal processing jig for a workpiece, wherein the mounting portion is formed from a single connected member or a single united bodied member.
- a workpiece targeted for thermal processing is mounted on a top surface of a mounting portion of a jig, and the jig having the workpiece mounted thereon is disposed into a thermal furnace.
- the workpiece is heated inside the thermal furnace and thermally processed, e.g., brazed, while the thermal energy is inevitably absorbed by the jig.
- the heating cause thermal expansion upon the members forming the jig.
- each member is movably connected; furthermore, expansion spaces for absorbing the expansion of the members are formed between the members of the outer peripheral frame and also between the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion.
- the expansion spaces formed between the members therefore absorbs the expansion from the thermally expanded members, as opposed to a conventional example where members of a jig such as an outer peripheral frame and a mounting portion for mounting a workpiece are firmly connected by welding or the like.
- Each member, along with the expansion absorption of the expansion spaces, can absorb the stress created in association with the thermal expansion since each member is movably connected. Accordingly, the expansion spaces can therefore absorb the expansion, from the thermally expanded members, as opposed to a conventional example where members of a jig such as an outer peripheral frame and a mounting portion for mounting a workpiece are firmly connected by welding or the like.
- the space for a heating zone inside a furnace and the time for heating can be reduced.
- the jig having little thermal capacity is easy to cool into a cold state, thereby requiring less space for a cooling zone than the conventional jig in a case where a continuous thermal processing furnace is used and also requiring less time for a cooling process.
- Each member is movably connected via an expansion space.
- an insertion aperture is piercingly formed at a connecting portion of each member for inserting therethrough a connection axis, in which the connection axis having a smaller diameter than the insertion aperture is pierced therethrough.
- Forming the connection axis with a smaller diameter than the insertion aperture allows a play portion to be created in the insertion aperture. The play portion enables the members to move in association with the thermal expansion of the members.
- the members of the jig include plural members forming the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion arranged inside the outer peripheral frame for mounting the workpiece, the members can be directly connected via the insertion aperture and the connection axis, or connected via an intermediary attachment member. By connecting the members via the intermediary attachment member, the forming of the members of the jig can be simplified, thereby providing productivity and versatility for the jig.
- connection of the members In connecting the members directly, the members of the jig will be subject to a process such as bending. Therefore, direct connection of the members has a drawback of requiring more labor in processing the members of the jig. Nevertheless, direct connection of the members can simplify manufacture of the jig since no intermediary attachment member is required. Therefore, connection of the members can be determined according to the purpose for processing the workpiece.
- connection axis By forming the connection axis in a removable manner with respect to the insertion aperture, the connection axis can be removed from the members for allowing the members to be modified by pressing or the like. For example, a jig deformed into a wound state can be flattened and reused as a thermal processing jig. As opposed to the conventional jig, the jig of this invention will rarely be required to be discarded.
- a considerable amount of thermal expansion can be absorbed even for a large sized mounting portion and thermal stress can be prevented by forming the mounting portion with plural members connected movably via the expansion space.
- the mounting portion can also be formed from a single connected or united bodied member since the amount of thermal expansion is small and the expansion space formed between the mounting portion and the outer peripheral frame will be able to absorb the thermal expansion, thereby forming the jig with a simple structure and enabling manufacture of an inexpensive product.

- Forming a thin jig 1 not only allows the jig 1 to be lightened and transported easily, but also reduces the absorption amount of thermal energy of the jig 1 when placed into a high temperature furnace. Since the thermal energy unabsorbed by the jig 1 can be added to the workpiece 4 , the jig 1 placed in the furnace 1 can be moved faster for enabling the workpiece 4 to be thermally processed efficiently.

- connection axis 7 and the insertion aperture 6 In connecting the members via the connection axis 7 and the insertion aperture 6 , a gap of a certain extent is formed between the connection axis 7 and the insertion aperture 6 since the connection axis 7 inserted into the insertion aperture 6 has a smaller diameter than that of the insertion aperture 6 . Accordingly, each of the members of the jig 1 can expand within the extent of the gap, respectively. Therefore, the thermal expansion can be absorbed by each member of the jig 1 , and problems such as bending or deforming can be prevented. Since problems such as bending and deforming can be prevented, the jig 1 can be formed with no requirement of a rigid body structure for preventing deformation and can also be formed with a thin thickness for absorbing less thermal energy than the conventional product. More thermal energy can be applied to the workpiece 4 per unit of time, thereby the workpiece 4 inside the furnace can be moved at a higher speed for enabling quick thermal processing of the workpiece 4 .
- connection axis 7 In a case where the connection axis 7 is formed in a removable manner, the members of the jig 1 can be disassembled, restored into original form by pressing or the like, and reassembled for further use. Therefore, the members of the jig 1 can be economically restored and repaired even when slight deformation or the like is caused upon the workpiece 4 by long term use or by external impact or the like during handling of the workpiece 4 .
- Forming the connection axis 7 in a removable manner with respect to the insertion aperture 6 is not to be restricted to a typical method such as using a bolt and a nut. A rivet or the like can also be employed for connection as long as disassembly is possible.
- the mounting portion 3 is formed from plural members in the foregoing embodiments, the mounting portion 3 , in a case where the jig 1 has a size of a small area, can also be formed from a single connected or united bodied member since the amount of thermal expansion is small and the expansion space 5 formed between the mounting portion 3 and the outer peripheral frame 2 can absorb the thermal expansion. Accordingly, the mounting portion 3 for a small sized jig 1 can be formed with a single member, thereby allowing the jig 1 to have a simple structure and enabling manufacture of an inexpensive product.
- the jig can be formed with a thin thickness, the amount of thermal energy absorbed by the jig inside the furnace can be small, thereby allowing the jig placed in the furnace to be moved faster and enabling the workpiece 4 to be thermally processed efficiently. Accordingly, the heating space required inside the furnace can be reduced, and the time for such heating can be shortened.
- the jig having small thermal capacity can also be cooled easily when cooling the jig to a cold state, thereby requiring lesser cooling space and cooling time than the conventional jig when employed for a continuous heat processing furnace. Accordingly, the heating furnace can be formed in a small size, the area required for placing the heating furnace can be reduced, and the overall initial cost and the running cost of the furnace can be lowered by the reduction of the heating space and the cooling space.

- In a conventional thermal processing jig, for example, a
jig 20 shown in FIG. 4 including an outerperipheral frame 21 for structuring thejig 20, amounting portion 22 for mounting a workpiece thereon, and astay 24 is formed rigidly by employing thick members and by unmovably connecting the members withweld 23. In a case where thejig 20 having a workpiece mounted thereon is placed into a furnace, high-temperature heat causes thermal stress upon thejig 20, and often results to deformation of thejig 20. Therefore, in means to prevent deformation of the thermal processing jig, thick members are used for forming the jig rigidly. - Since the members of the rigidly formed jig are heated up from a cold state in a frequent and repetitive manner, then exposed to a high temperature atmosphere of 1100° C. or more inside a furnace, and then cooled to a cold state, the members are subject to considerable deformation caused by welding stress in a manufacturing process and internal stress from the property of the material due to heat difference between the heating process and the cooling process. In association with the deformation of the members, the workpiece mounted on the top surface of the mounting portion will also deform. Accordingly, a subsequent process of inspecting all products and an additional process of relieving the stress are necessary for products requiring accurate dimensional tolerance.
- Forming the thick and rigid jig causes the jig to become heavy. Therefore, the weight of the jig itself will take up a large portion of the entire weight in processing with the furnace. That is, absorption of thermal energy by the jig has no significance from an aspect of heating energy. Most preferably, heating energy should only be applied upon the workpiece disposed inside the furnace. However, in reality, a considerable amount of heat is absorbed by the conventional rigid jig in a case where the jig and the workpiece are placed in a same atmosphere of high temperature. Therefore, a large space for a heating zone of the furnace and a long time for the heating process are required for the conventional jig. At the same time, since the jig has large thermal capacity, the jig is difficult to cool into a cold state. Therefore, a large space for a cooling zone when using a continuous thermal processing furnace and a long time for a cooling process are required for the jig. Repetitively using the jig for a numerous amount of times causes considerable thermal stress and results to considerable deformation, even to the rigidly formed jig. The thermally deformed jigs were disposed of since the jigs were difficult to be reused. Not only is the jig used for a short period, but is also unable to use thermal energy efficiently due to the large amount of heat absorption of the jig. Therefore, a large sized furnace and high running cost was necessary for the conventional jig.
- It is an object this invention to solve the foregoing problems by providing a jig causing no or hardly any deformation from thermal stress upon the jig in a case where the jig is disposed into a thermal furnace along with a workpiece, thereby allowing the jig to be used for a period considerably longer than the conventional jig. By forming a thin and light-weight jig, the productivity for the operator can be increased, the amount of heat absorption of the jig placed inside a furnace can be reduced to enable a more efficient thermal processing of a workpiece, and the apparatus for thermal processing can be size-reduced to enable reduction in initial cost and running cost.
- This invention provides a thermal processing jig for a workpiece including: an outer peripheral frame formed of a plurality of members; and a mounting portion arranged within the outer peripheral frame for mounting the workpiece, wherein the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion are movably connected, wherein the plurality of members forming the outer peripheral frame are connected via an expansion space capable of absorbing expansion caused during thermal expansion of the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion, and wherein the plurality of members forming the outer peripheral frame and a member constituting the mounting portion are connected via the expansion space.
- This invention can also provide a thermal processing jig for a workpiece, wherein the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion are movably connected by piercingly forming an insertion aperture at a connecting portion between the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion, and by inserting the connection axis through the insertion aperture, for enabling each member of the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion to move at the connection portion during thermal expansion of the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion, wherein the insertion aperture is formed for inserting the connection axis therethrough, and wherein the connection axis has a diameter smaller than the insertion aperture.
- This invention can also provide a thermal processing jig for a workpiece, wherein the plurality of members forming the outer peripheral frame are directly connected to each other, and wherein the plurality of members forming the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion are directly connected.
- This invention can also provide a thermal processing jig for a workpiece, wherein the plurality of members forming the outer peripheral frame are connected to each other via an intermediary attachment member, and wherein the plurality of members forming the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion are connected via the intermediary member.
- This invention can also provide a thermal processing jig for a workpiece, wherein the connection axis is removably connected to the insertion aperture.
- This invention can also provide a thermal processing jig for a workpiece, wherein the connection axis is unremovably connected to the insertion aperture.
- This invention can also provide a thermal processing jig for a workpiece, wherein the mounting portion is formed with a plurality of members.
- This invention can also provide a thermal processing jig for a workpiece, wherein the mounting portion is formed from a single connected member or a single united bodied member.
- With this invention, a workpiece targeted for thermal processing is mounted on a top surface of a mounting portion of a jig, and the jig having the workpiece mounted thereon is disposed into a thermal furnace. The workpiece is heated inside the thermal furnace and thermally processed, e.g., brazed, while the thermal energy is inevitably absorbed by the jig. The heating cause thermal expansion upon the members forming the jig. Despite the thermal expansion caused upon the members, each member is movably connected; furthermore, expansion spaces for absorbing the expansion of the members are formed between the members of the outer peripheral frame and also between the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion.
- The expansion spaces formed between the members therefore absorbs the expansion from the thermally expanded members, as opposed to a conventional example where members of a jig such as an outer peripheral frame and a mounting portion for mounting a workpiece are firmly connected by welding or the like. Each member, along with the expansion absorption of the expansion spaces, can absorb the stress created in association with the thermal expansion since each member is movably connected. Accordingly, the expansion spaces can therefore absorb the expansion, from the thermally expanded members, as opposed to a conventional example where members of a jig such as an outer peripheral frame and a mounting portion for mounting a workpiece are firmly connected by welding or the like.
- Stress and deformation upon the jig as well as deformation of the workpiece from the stress of the jig can be prevented since the members are able to absorb the thermal expansion. Since deformation and thermal stress upon the jig can be prevented, the jig is not required to be formed rigidly, but is instead able to be formed only with strength sufficient for handling or mounting the workpiece. Accordingly, the members of the jig can be formed with a thin thickness, so that the thermal energy absorbed by the jig can be absorbed to an amount considerably less than that of the conventional jig. Accordingly, unnecessary absorption of thermal energy can be prevented and thermal processing of the workpiece can be provided efficiently. Consequently, the space for a heating zone inside a furnace and the time for heating can be reduced. At the same time, the jig having little thermal capacity is easy to cool into a cold state, thereby requiring less space for a cooling zone than the conventional jig in a case where a continuous thermal processing furnace is used and also requiring less time for a cooling process.
- Each member is movably connected via an expansion space. In movably connecting the members, an insertion aperture is piercingly formed at a connecting portion of each member for inserting therethrough a connection axis, in which the connection axis having a smaller diameter than the insertion aperture is pierced therethrough. Forming the connection axis with a smaller diameter than the insertion aperture allows a play portion to be created in the insertion aperture. The play portion enables the members to move in association with the thermal expansion of the members.
- Although the members of the jig include plural members forming the outer peripheral frame and the mounting portion arranged inside the outer peripheral frame for mounting the workpiece, the members can be directly connected via the insertion aperture and the connection axis, or connected via an intermediary attachment member. By connecting the members via the intermediary attachment member, the forming of the members of the jig can be simplified, thereby providing productivity and versatility for the jig.
- In connecting the members directly, the members of the jig will be subject to a process such as bending. Therefore, direct connection of the members has a drawback of requiring more labor in processing the members of the jig. Nevertheless, direct connection of the members can simplify manufacture of the jig since no intermediary attachment member is required. Therefore, connection of the members can be determined according to the purpose for processing the workpiece. By forming the connection axis in a removable manner with respect to the insertion aperture, the connection axis can be removed from the members for allowing the members to be modified by pressing or the like. For example, a jig deformed into a wound state can be flattened and reused as a thermal processing jig. As opposed to the conventional jig, the jig of this invention will rarely be required to be discarded.
- A considerable amount of thermal expansion can be absorbed even for a large sized mounting portion and thermal stress can be prevented by forming the mounting portion with plural members connected movably via the expansion space.
- In a case where the jig is of a small size area, the mounting portion can also be formed from a single connected or united bodied member since the amount of thermal expansion is small and the expansion space formed between the mounting portion and the outer peripheral frame will be able to absorb the thermal expansion, thereby forming the jig with a simple structure and enabling manufacture of an inexpensive product.
- The above and other objects and features of the invention are apparent to those skilled in the art from the following preferred embodiments thereof when considered in conjunction with the accompanied drawings, in which:
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment;
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a connecting relation between an insertion aperture and a connection axis;
- FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a state where mounting portion is directly connected to an outer peripheral frame; and
- FIG. 4 is a plan view showing a conventional example.
- An embodiment of this invention will hereinafter be described with reference to the drawings.
Numeral 1 is a jig for thermal processing having an outer peripheral frame 2 formed of plural members and a mounting portion 3 formed of plural members arranged inside the outer peripheral frame 2. A top surface of the mounting portion 3 is formed for mounting thereon a workpiece 4 targeted for thermal processing and is processed suitably according to the workpiece 4. The processing differs according to the object targeted as the workpiece 4 for thermal processing. For example, the top surface of the mounting portion 3 can be formed with irregularities, or with projecting support columns (not shown) for mounting and maintaining the workpiece 4. The workpiece 4 for thermal processing can be of various kinds. For example, a workpiece 4 having brazing material disposed in between connecting portions of plural members of thejig 1 for connecting the plural members, a workpiece 4 for annealing or the like, a workpiece 4 for surface drying, or a workpiece for other thermal processing of preference. - The
jig 1 for thermal processing comprises the outer peripheral frame 2 having a square shape or a rectangular shape. The outer peripheral frame 2 is comprised not of a single member but of a plurality of members. In an inner space of the outer peripheral frame 2, the mounting portions 3 for mounting the workpiece 4 on the top surface thereof are disposed with a prescribed space therebetween. The mounting portion 3 is formed with a shape in accordance with the purpose for mounting the workpiece 4 targeted for thermal processing. - The plural members comprising the outer peripheral frame2 and the mounting portion 3 are connected via an
expansion space 5 capable of absorbing the expansion of the members during thermal expansion. Theexpansion space 5 should preferably be formed with a space of 1 mm to {fraction (1/100)} mm. Anexpansion space 5 over 1 mm causes shakiness of thejig 1, decline of precision, and unstableness when the workpiece 4 is mounted. Anexpansion space 5 below {fraction (1/100)} mm cannot absorb the thermal expansion and contraction of the members due to mutual interference, thereby causing deformation. Various methods can be employed for forming the expansion space of 1 mm to {fraction (1/100)} mm between the members, such as by connecting each of the members via aspacer 9 having a thickness equal to a prescribed space of theexpansion space 5, and then by removing thespacer 9 after the connection. -
Insertion apertures 6 are formed in the connecting portion between the plural members of the outer peripheral frame 2 and the plural members of the mounting portion 3. Theinsertion aperture 6 has a connectingaxis 7 formed therethrough for connection between the outer peripheral frame 2 and the mounting portion 3, between the outer peripheral frame 2 and the outer peripheral frame 2, or between the mounting portion 3 and the mounting portion 3. - In one embodiment, the
insertion aperture 6 is formed with a size of 3.3 mm, and the connectingaxis 7 inserted through theinsertion aperture 6 is formed with a 3.2 mm diameter. The connectingaxis 7 is formed as a rivet having engagement heads on both ends thereof, wherein the diameter difference between theinsertion aperture 6 and the connectingaxis 7 is 0.1 mm. A large difference in diameter causes problems such as shakiness of the members comprising thejig 1, or deformation of the workpiece 4 when the workpiece 4 is mounted. A small difference in diameter between the diameter of theinsertion aperture 6 and theconnection axis 7 causes disability in adjusting to the movement from the expansion of the members. - Accordingly, the diameter difference between the
insertion aperture 6 and the diameter of the connectingaxis 7 in one embodiment should preferably be ranged between approximately 0.2 mm to {fraction (1/100)} mm. Such diameter difference, together with theexpansion space 5, serves to absorb the expansion of the members during thermal expansion. Problems such as shakiness of thejig 1 in an unheated state can be restrained to a minimal degree, the workpiece 4 can be mounted on the top surface with more precision, and unstableness of the mounted workpiece 4 can be eliminated. Each of the members can be connected by using anintermediary attachment member 8 of an L-shaped angle or a rectangular pipe as shown in FIG. 2. For example, in using theintermediary attachment member 8 of an L-shaped angle as shown in FIG. 2, theintermediary attachment member 8 of an L-shaped angle can be arranged in a corner portion of the outer peripheral frame 2 of thejig 1. Theinsertion aperture 6 is piercingly formed in theintermediary attachment member 8 and the outer peripheral frame 2, and the connectingaxis 7 formed as a rivet is inserted through the piercingly formedinsertion aperture 6, thereby enabling connection in the corner portion of the outer peripheral frame 2 via theintermediary attachment member 8. - Needless saying, each of the members connected by the
connection axis 7 have theexpansion space 5 of approximately 1 mm to {fraction (1/100)} mm disposed therebetween. In forming theexpansion space 5 as shown in FIG. 2, thespacer 9 having a thickness of approximately 1 mm to {fraction (1/100)} mm is inserted between the members, and the members are then connected by theconnection axis 7. Thespacer 9 is removed after the members are connected by theconnection axis 7, thereby forming theexpansion space 5 and completing the connection of the members. - As shown in the bottom portion of FIG. 2, an
intermediary attachment member 8 of a rectangular pipe is used. Although theinsertion aperture 6 and theconnection axis 7 are also formed in such a case, theintermediary attachment member 8 of a rectangular pipe is convenient for mounting the workpiece 4 on the mounting portion 3 inside the outer peripheral frame 2. Spaces of approximately 1 mm to {fraction (1/100)} mm are formed between theintermediary attachment member 8 and the mounting portion 3 and also between theintermediary attachment member 8 and the outer peripheral frame 2 for enabling absorption of deformation caused by the thermal expansion of theintermediary attachment member 8, or the members of the outer peripheral frame 2, the mounting portion 3, etc. A stainless plane material, for example, can be used for forming theintermediary attachment member 8, the outer peripheral frame 2, the mounting portion 3 or the like, in which the plane thickness in this embodiment is 2 mm. - Although the
intermediary attachment member 8 is used for connecting the outer peripheral frame 2 and the mounting portion 3 in the foregoing embodiment, the outer peripheral frame 2 and the mounting portion 3 can be connected directly without use of theintermediary attachment member 8 as in this embodiment shown in the bottom portion of FIG. 3. In such a case, an L-shapedbent portion 10 is formed at an end portion of the mounting portion 3, and theinsertion aperture 6 is formed in the mounting portion 3, thereby allowing theconnection axis 7 to be inserted through theinsertion aperture 6. Although this embodiment has an advantage of requiring nointermediary attachment member 8, the L-shapedbent portion 10 is required to be formed for opening theinsertion aperture 6 in the end portion of the mounting portion 3, thereby requiring additional labor in forming the members. Nevertheless, the weight of thejig 1 can be lightened, the thermal capacity and the thermal energy of thejig 1 can be reduced, and thejig 1 can be cooled faster by not requiring theintermediary attachment member 8. - Although the thickness for the outer peripheral frame2 and the mounting portion 3 is 2 mm in the foregoing embodiment, the thickness is not to be restricted to 2 mm. The thickness can also be approximately 1 mm or 0.5 mm. The thickness can be determined according to the weight of the workpiece 4 targeted for mounting on the top surface, or the purpose of mounting the workpiece 4. The thickness can be formed to a degree capable of preventing deformation of the
jig 1 when held or transported in an ordinary procedure performed by an operator handling the workpiece 4. Anideal jig 1 is one resistant to deformation from external force and thus formed with a thin thickness without adversely affecting the mounting of the workpiece 4. Forming athin jig 1 not only allows thejig 1 to be lightened and transported easily, but also reduces the absorption amount of thermal energy of thejig 1 when placed into a high temperature furnace. Since the thermal energy unabsorbed by thejig 1 can be added to the workpiece 4, thejig 1 placed in thefurnace 1 can be moved faster for enabling the workpiece 4 to be thermally processed efficiently. Forming thejig 1 with a thin thickness, however, causes thejig 1 to have a sharp property. Therefore, it is required to keep in mind that the sharp property of thejig 1 may, for example, cut the operator in a case where thejig 1 is hand-held. - Although the
connection axis 7 is formed with use of a rivet in the foregoing embodiments, theconnection axis 7 can also be formed with, for example, a bolt and a nut. Productivity may slightly be lower when using a bolt and a nut instead of using a rivet. Theconnection axis 7 can be formed firmly and can also be formed in an unremovable state with respect to theinsertion aperture 6. - Thus structured, thermal energy can be applied to the workpiece4 and the
jig 1 by mounting the workpiece 4 targeted for thermal processing on the top surface of thejig 1 and then by placing thejig 1 into a high temperature furnace. The thermal processing is performed according to the purpose of the workpiece 4. Although the heat from thermal processing causes thermal expansion in each member of thejig 1, the thermal expansion is absorbed by theexpansion space 5. The movement of the members during the absorption of thermal expansion by theexpansion space 5 will be no problem since each member is connected movably. - In connecting the members via the
connection axis 7 and theinsertion aperture 6, a gap of a certain extent is formed between theconnection axis 7 and theinsertion aperture 6 since theconnection axis 7 inserted into theinsertion aperture 6 has a smaller diameter than that of theinsertion aperture 6. Accordingly, each of the members of thejig 1 can expand within the extent of the gap, respectively. Therefore, the thermal expansion can be absorbed by each member of thejig 1, and problems such as bending or deforming can be prevented. Since problems such as bending and deforming can be prevented, thejig 1 can be formed with no requirement of a rigid body structure for preventing deformation and can also be formed with a thin thickness for absorbing less thermal energy than the conventional product. More thermal energy can be applied to the workpiece 4 per unit of time, thereby the workpiece 4 inside the furnace can be moved at a higher speed for enabling quick thermal processing of the workpiece 4. - In a case where the
connection axis 7 is formed in a removable manner, the members of thejig 1 can be disassembled, restored into original form by pressing or the like, and reassembled for further use. Therefore, the members of thejig 1 can be economically restored and repaired even when slight deformation or the like is caused upon the workpiece 4 by long term use or by external impact or the like during handling of the workpiece 4. Forming theconnection axis 7 in a removable manner with respect to theinsertion aperture 6 is not to be restricted to a typical method such as using a bolt and a nut. A rivet or the like can also be employed for connection as long as disassembly is possible. - Although the mounting portion3 is formed from plural members in the foregoing embodiments, the mounting portion 3, in a case where the
jig 1 has a size of a small area, can also be formed from a single connected or united bodied member since the amount of thermal expansion is small and theexpansion space 5 formed between the mounting portion 3 and the outer peripheral frame 2 can absorb the thermal expansion. Accordingly, the mounting portion 3 for a smallsized jig 1 can be formed with a single member, thereby allowing thejig 1 to have a simple structure and enabling manufacture of an inexpensive product. - Thus structured, no or hardly any deformation is caused from thermal stress of the jig with this invention, thereby allowing the jig to be used for a long period. Since the workpiece mounted on the jig will not be subject to deformation in association with the thermal stress of the jig, procedures such as modifying the workpiece after the thermal processing of the workpiece will not be required, thereby enabling economical and precise thermal processing of the workpiece.
- Since the jig can be formed with a thin thickness, the amount of thermal energy absorbed by the jig inside the furnace can be small, thereby allowing the jig placed in the furnace to be moved faster and enabling the workpiece4 to be thermally processed efficiently. Accordingly, the heating space required inside the furnace can be reduced, and the time for such heating can be shortened.
- The jig having small thermal capacity can also be cooled easily when cooling the jig to a cold state, thereby requiring lesser cooling space and cooling time than the conventional jig when employed for a continuous heat processing furnace. Accordingly, the heating furnace can be formed in a small size, the area required for placing the heating furnace can be reduced, and the overall initial cost and the running cost of the furnace can be lowered by the reduction of the heating space and the cooling space.
